I'm working on my new Rig on a 100 series LC. I'm retaining its original Chassis and the rest of the drive-train except its motor/engine. I'm planning to swap the stock 2UZ-FE gasoline V8 with a diesel 4.2 1HDT-FTE, retaining the stock 5 speed Auto Transmission. So for which 1HDT-FTE engine option I will choose; I have two variants of 1HDT_FTE one in 79 series and another in the 100 series. I'm interested in 79 series 1HD-FTE coz of easy wiring as compared to the 100's. However, I'm not using 79 series manual trans. i want to use 79's 1hd-fte and plug it with 100 series 5 speed auto transmission with zig-zag gears. If i don't get the 79 series 1HD-FTE then reluctantly, i will go for 100 series 1HDT-FTE. The unique thing with my RIG is 100 percent redesigned custom fabricated body which gives it a unique value, but the problem is the body of the truck is heavy in comparison to factory body weight standards and that creates the challenge furthermore, the box styled body design and height of the truck creates a lot of Drag as well which is further aggravated by 37x18 tires and wheels. To respond to the problem, I'm searching for a comprehensive solution. I definitely need turbos and inter coolers (at least). However, options of UNICHIP modular, after market performance injectors,cooling systems, valve body upgrades, exhaust system upgrades and so many other mouth watering options are there which sounds really attractive but expansive as well !
I'm planning to spin 37x18 inch coopers-stt pros mud terrains on this planned rig with a heavy body, pl suggest what is the Minimum which can give me some real torque and horses(HP) to this monster RIG and how I can plug 79 series 1HDT_FTE engine with a 100 series 5 speed Gasoline auto transmission?
The real issue is most websites on Diesel Performance selling these performance upgrades; are only talking about TURBOS and UNICHIPS and magic power increase but they are not advising how to handle the increased Torque & HP...? how to make the truck body and its drive-train absorb the increased power which can be sustainable and with no major impact on engine, gearbox, and so many other parts of the drive train.
I live in Pakistan where I don't get quality service and maintenance support as You gentlemen have in Australia or USA. I need your assistance as how this power increase would impact my drive train right from the transfer box/case to the bearings of the truck's rear wheel, its engine mounts, body mounts, and bolts etc.
I would really appreciate, if you guys can help me identify all these issues and come up with a turn key solution with plug and play equipment, suggesting what are the minimum performance upgrades which can give me nice highway speed with off road and gravel expedition capability, I need to do to enhance the power of my clutch plate, axles, connecting rods etc to sustain the increase in boost,torque and power. As I mentioned above, I live in a place where I don't have experts on remapping or even tuning in a professional manner.
With this epidement, I request that kindly suggest what I need to do?
